CAN WELL-CRAFTED DIGITAL LEARNING
TRUMP FACE-TO-FACE PROGRAMS FOR
EMERGING LEADERS?
BY ALAN TODD
If you were to poll CEOs about the likeliest sources
of advances in corporate management, digital learning would almost certainly rise to the very top of
their list. Changes within the business environment
demand innovative learning solutions. Decisionmaking is increasingly distributed, so managers
deep within the ranks require more development.
Emerging leaders are dispersed globally more than
ever before, so assembling them face-to-face can be
prohibitively expensive. Frequent market disruptions pose more difcult challenges for executives
early in their careers. All these factors (among
others) test the viability of traditional learning approaches in modern corporate environments.
